Properties We Cover in Handsworth
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
A Complete Handsworth Moving Service
Finding a good man and van in Handsworth Birmingham should not be stressful. Giant Van pairs you with vetted, insured drivers who know the area inside out. From the terraced streets off Westminster Road to the semis along Hamstead Road, our crews load and unload with care.
Handsworth sits in the B20 and B21 postcode districts, northwest of Birmingham city centre. The area has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, and purpose-built flats. Each property type needs a different approach. Narrow front paths on Holly Road call for smaller trolleys. Larger homes near Grove Lane need a bigger crew.
Our man and van service covers single items through to full studio and one-bed flat moves. Need a sofa collected from Soho Road? We can be there within the hour. Moving out of a ground-floor flat on Oxhill Road? Our two-person team will wrap, carry, and secure everything in the van.
Every vehicle carries furniture blankets, straps, and a basic tool kit. We disassemble bed frames, wrap mirrors, and protect wooden floors. GPS tracking lets you follow your belongings in real time through our app. You get a live ETA and driver details the moment you book.
Prices for a man and van start at just £54 per hour. Most single-item jobs in Handsworth take under two hours. That means your move could cost less than £90, with no hidden fees. We quote a fixed price before we arrive, so there are no surprises on the day.
Handsworth: Loading Zones and Permits
Operating across Birmingham, moving house in Handsworth does not need to drain your savings.
Giant Van offers clear, upfront pricing based on your property size. No call-out charges. No fuel surcharges. Just one honest price.
A one-bed flat move in Handsworth typically costs between £250 and £400.
Many of the one-bed properties around Church Hill and Booth Street fall into this bracket. The price covers two movers, a large van, and all loading and unloading time.
Two-bed house moves range from £400 to £650.
This suits the popular two-bed terraces found along Westminster Road and Crompton Road. We bring extra blankets for larger furniture and can supply wardrobe boxes on the day.
Three-bed homes cost between £650 and £900.
The family houses near Handsworth Park on Holly Road and Hinstock Road often fall into this category. We send a one- or two-person crew with a Luton van to handle the volume.
Every quote includes full goods-in-transit insurance.
Your belongings are protected from the moment we lift them to the moment we set them down. We also offer packing services if you want us to handle everything. Our team uses double-walled boxes, acid-free tissue for delicate items, and stretch wrap for upholstered furniture.

Work Out Your Moving CostWhat to Pack First for a Handsworth Move
It stretches from Hockley through to Handsworth and is lined with independent shops, restaurants, and market stalls. Giant Van regularly collects and delivers along this busy road.
Collections from shops near the Boulton Road car park are straightforward. Deliveries to flats above the retail units on Soho Road need careful planning, and our team handles narrow stairwells daily.
Regular pickup points include properties on Victoria Road, Alexandra Road, Regent Road, and Grasmere Road. The streets around St Mary's Church see frequent moves, especially from the period homes on Church Lane.
Families moving within the B20 area often shift from the denser streets near Soho Road to the larger detached homes along Hamstead Road. We handle both ends of that move with the same crew.
But when you have a houseful of furniture to shift, you need a van, not a tram. Giant Van fills that gap with local knowledge and the right equipment for every Handsworth street.
